Fans of One Direction will of course know that the lads, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, are currently in Berlin as part of their mammoth world tour, and all it would seem are having a blast…

However, according to Niall, staff in a hotel he stayed in recently accidentally melted his retainer after – probably meaning to be helpful – putting it in hot water!

He made the revelation on Twitter, remarking yesterday, “People at the last hotel ! Put my retainer on warm water now I just have a ball of plastic! Hahahah”

O bless him! However he isn’t letting that faux pas disrupt his fun, and also yesterday, he posted a picture to Instagram of himself in Berlin, and he also took time to thank all the fans who’ve turned out in their droves to see the lads perform.

He tweeted, “Berlin! Amazing show tonight! amazing crowd and amazing arena! Thank you soo much !

“Love comin back to Germany! And later added, Came to Berlin and seen the wall ! Amazing stuff”

However, he has had to miss out on the birthday celebrations of his mate, but he did take time out to tweet him, saying, !Happy birthday to one of my best friends in the world @seancullen95 !
